I'm not sure what that link has to do with your question...

Newegg reviews are pretty unreliable. Here are some good charts to compare the different drives.

blacks have better IOps. and reliability. (and warrenty.)

barracudas have better throughput.

I like the barracudas

I've always liked WD's reliability. The black series drives can perform w/ any other 72k rpm drive available.

I would have to side with WD.
